It runs Android tv which is a version of Android. You can run puffin as well as a few other browsers. The original Chromecast cant but the new ones can.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes you can download a browser onto a Chromecast, but not Chrone or IE. All are offshoot browsers optimized for TV (Puffin TV browser seems alright) and work ok, but pages optimized for a certain browser may come off as odd. There are probably a dozen TV optimized browsers. The Chromecast has an OS and all you need is a TV and a HDMI port. Don’t overthink this.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No. Chromecast doesn't have a web browser. However, you can still cast a Chrome browser on your computer or laptop to your TV using the regular cast tab or the desktop mirroring option.
